I actually have seen large earthenware sculptures made. Large enough they can't be moved unfired, and the kiln has to be built up around it for it to be fired in place.

Unfeasible, but with porous earthenware, possible.

I forgot to post here about how much I enjoy this comic.
I kinda wish you were more regular with the updates, but the same could be said about over half the webcomics I read, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Keep up the good work!

yeah I figured they needed a weakness. I'm not providing an in-story reason for their iron "allergy", though. It will intentionally go unexplained.

Iron weaponry should leave really nasty wounds on goblins... like big, smoking burning scars filled with coagulated blood.

If you really wanted an explanation, though, you could call it a species-wide mutation in the hemoglobin gene. The mutation would cause red blood cells to catalyze metallic iron and turn it into free iron in the bloodstream. This would then cause immediate cell death in the wound and iron overload throughout the rest of the body.

If you don't want an explanation, then that's okay too.

P.S. I actually did research on this. It's still fantasy pseudoscience, though.

Undead and many forgotten beasts (such as those composed of stone or gemstone) are near-impossible to kill mainly because:
A: They lack living parts, and require decapitation, bisection, or bodily destruction (i.e. magma) to kill.
B: They are made of tough materials like bone, stone, and gem.

An easy solution for this is to lower the material strength of body parts as they take damage. This is a realistic simulation of deformation, cracks, and hairline fractures that develop with repeated blows. The more you hit it, the easier it becomes to break. Hit something enough times with a hammer and it shatters.
This way, repeatedly striking a creature in the upper body will eventually grind the torso into dust!

Bronzemurder is awesome. We could call Hollywood and make a major motion picture out of it.

My military commander was a legendary axedwarf, not to mention sheriff. He threw a tantrum, and killed a cat and wounded two dwarves. The first dwarf just got a gashed forearm, but the second lost an arm at the shoulder and a leg at the knee. Worse, he was my only medical dwarf, so he gets treated by dabblers. To make matters worse, as sheriff, he decides not to punish himself. Even more tragic, the cat belonged to him.

To top it all off, the first dwarf with minor injuries died of thirst in the hospital while waiting in line for treatment.

Good news, though! He's out of the hospital on crutches now.

I still have trouble believing that Jesus's mother would be a virgin afterwords.

God did it her.
